Duetti secures $200m to scale independent music catalog deals

January 21, 2026

Duetti, a music-tech and financial services company focused on helping independent music creators unlock the value of their catalogues, has secured $200m in new funding to accelerate acquisitions and enhance its platform capabilities worldwide.

The financing package is led by a $50m Series C equity investment from Raine Partners, the growth equity fund of The Raine Group. This is complemented by a $125m private securitisation and a $25m increase to an existing credit facility, taking the total capital raise to $200m.

The Series C investment is intended to support Duetti’s continued expansion in music rights acquisition, with funding earmarked for team growth, technology infrastructure upgrades and enhanced marketing services. The company said it will also use the capital to strengthen its global footprint as demand from independent artists continues to rise.

Since launching more than three years ago, Duetti has raised over $635m in total funding, including more than $100m in equity. The company has partnered with over 1,100 artists, songwriters and music creators across more than 40 countries, purchasing and managing portions of their music rights catalogues.

Duetti is currently signing more than 80 deals per month, representing over 2.5x growth compared with the same period last year. This momentum follows the company’s expansion into publishing rights alongside master recording rights, as well as increased activity in international markets. As part of the Series C financing, Joe Puthenveetil, partner at The Raine Group, will join Duetti’s board of directors.

The company employs a 65-person team across New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, London and Rio de Janeiro. More than 30% of its 2025 deals originated outside the US, including transactions in France, the UK, Germany, Brazil and Mexico.

Duetti CEO Lior Tibon said, “The traditional music industry and the financially driven catalog buyout funds are not able to keep pace and adapt their infrastructure to the explosive growth of the independent music sector.

“This new funding allows us to continue building proprietary databases and systems to identify, predict, and effectively manage and support music catalogs of independent creators, the fastest growing and most exciting segment of the industry.”

The Raine Group partner Joe Puthenveetil said, “We are excited to partner with Lior and team as they develop a next-generation music company that empowers independent creators. Duetti has democratized the industry by enabling artists at every stage of their careers to monetize their rights and access the marketing and growth resources offered by a modern label and publisher.”
